This.
Super embarrassing for Johnson. He’s lost the speakership though because Musk-Trump is not pleased.

You voted for this mess. Elections have consequences.

Nah. I voted for responsible governing. Definitely not this mockery.

Ok, I will rephrase. 98% of you that voted in the 2020 election voted for this mess. Reap what you sow and learn your lesson. No more 80 year old presidents.

This has nothing to do with Biden and everything to do with the GOP "governing"

Yup and the GOP doesn't want to govern they want to rule and dictate!

Mikey is now thinking of taking the original CR bill and breaking it up into three parts. The CR, the disaster aid, and the farm aid. And drop the debt ceiling piece.

So get the aid pieces through....and then shut down the government?

It would function better shut down than it has under Trump and Biden since 2017.

If he loses it - who do the Rs pick next? And if they can't pick someone, what does that do to certifying the election?

It would be AMAZING if after all his certification shenanigans, Trump ended up not being seated because Rs couldn't agree on a speaker.

I know that's just a #resistance pipe dream but it's a nice one.

No.

No matter how many times you say this no one believes it. Everyone knows that Elon-Trump and weak Republicans killed a negotiated bipartisan bill. Much like what happen with the Infrastructure bill. Seems folks haven’t learned so again with GOP Chaos show.

Johnson need to bring the negotiated CR to the floor for a vote or come up with a new negotiation and plan.

No.

You see, there are 219 Republicans and only 211 Democrats in the current House. If the Republicans really wanted to pass something, they can, with NO Democratic support. So, why is it that the Republicans can't even get members of their own party on board with a bill that they did not negotiate with the Democrats? And why should the Democrats support a bill in which that they have zero input?

So pass legislation and then stop it from being meaningful because no one will be around to administer getting it where it needs to go?

This is what the GOP leadership is currently presenting to their conference.

It's just as the Democrats warned during the campaign - they're going to cut Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid to pay for the tax cuts for corporations and rich people. How else do you cut 2.5 TRILLION from mandatory spending?

I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand??? Do you truly not understand basic math and how the Dems are not needed to pass this CR? It's mind blowing to me. I always thought DCUMers were some of the brightest. Hmmmm
